You’re in safe, skilled hands with Gayle Hocking ‍

B.Ost. P.O.D. CESMT. FSCCO. B.A. (Hons)

With over 20 years of experience in osteopathy, as a trauma informed somatics teacher, I support people who feel like no one’s quite listened — until now.

After witnessing countless clients struggle with recurring symptoms, I developed an approach that addresses not just what hurts, but why it hurts. My background includes science backed trauma training, and extensive study of the body's natural healing systems.
I bring deep compassion and genuine care to every session. I work hands-on, heart-open, and science-informed. From pain relief to nervous system re-training. I believe your body knows how to heal—sometimes it just needs gentle guidance to remember. I meet you where you are and walk with you toward real, lasting change

What to Expect: A Gentle, Guided Approach

Whether we work in-person or online, every session starts with listening — to your body, your story, and your symptoms.

Using a blend of advanced technology and whole-person care, we identify the underlying factors and support your body’s natural healing process.

You won’t be rushed. You won’t be judged. And you won’t be given a one-size-fits-all plan.

Customer Testimonials

After sustaining a back injury while training for a Half Marathon, I was recommended to visit an Osteopath to help treat the injury and Gayle came highly recommended.

During the first visit Gayle performed a full assessment, reviewed my MRI scans from the hospital and put together a plan on how she could treat my injury. Gayle used a combination of massage techniques to release some extremely tight areas and then followed on with Somatics excercises.

We had weekly sessions for the first few weeks and with each session there was a notable improvement in my condition, movement and pain from the massage work and Somatics exercise that we covered.

Somatics helped re-train my muscle movement to ensure I have the full movement available and release the tightness in my back and across most other areas of my body.

I have since been able to get back to normal life, back to cycling and am building up strength to prevent any further issues.

I highly recommend Gayle who goes above and beyond to help resolve my injuries
Michael Kirby
Osteopathy and Somatics Patient
I have been seeing Gayle for many years for a number of issues.

I have multiple sclerosis and this causes pain and numbness throughout my body. I also put my back out on a regular basis.

Gayle is the best practitioner I’ve seen for my issues. I’ve received physio and acupuncture for my shoulder/back pain and it did not make half the difference Gayle has.

Gayle is always learning new skills and techniques to help her clients as well. She is amazing!
Carla Burgess
Osteopathy Patient
My entire family have been seeing Gayle on and off for 6 years. From helping my  son with migraines to my daughter with respiratory issues. Plus me & my husband with back problems, which Gayle helped us all to resolve, after trying traditional methods.

Also the HILDA treatments assisted us from feeling sluggish, lethargic and lacklustre to understanding where and how to improve our health, with just a few treatments and home tweaks, and we feel amazing for it.

Gayle has had such a positive influence over our whole family's life. She has a warm friendly manner, which my children have always been at ease with, while always remaining professional. I honestly don't know where we'd be without her.

BODY MATTERS

About Osteopathy & Somatics

Osteopathy and Somatic Movement offer a comprehensive approach to supporting your body's natural healing processes.

As a qualified osteopath with over 20 years of experience, Gayle understands how biomechanics, bioenergetics and biochemistry work together, and how true health can be achieved when there is coherence between them all.

By combining hands-on osteopathic treatment with gentle, mindful somatic movements, you can experience immediate comfort while developing greater body awareness—empowering you to take an active role in your own wellbeing journey.

Osteopathy
Structural Osteopathy looks at the whole body to understand the cause of pain and imbalance, not just the symptoms. Osteopathy is suitable for all ages, from babies to the elderly.
Using gentle, hands-on treatment and a deep knowledge of how the body works, it aims to restore balance, ease tension, improve movement, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.
Somatics
Somatics uses gentle, mindful movements to retrain your nervous system and release chronic pain patterns—naturally.

Many people develop "sensory motor amnesia" - where muscles may remain chronically tight because the brain has learned patterns that keep them contracted.
LIFE MATTERS

About Cranial Osteopathy & Vitafield HILDA

When we feel emotionally drained, our body can often reflect this through tension and imbalance (a child might appear unsettled). Our approach combines evidence-based techniques with advanced technology to provide deeper insights and understanding of how your body is functioning. Together, these approaches help us to tailor how we can guide and support you, to make changes for long term health and natural resilience.

Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy is a gentle, whole-person approach that works with the body's natural ability to heal and thrive. Delivered with specialist care, it helps to release tension and restore balance at every stage of life. It considers:
  • How the body moves and holds itself – addressing alignment and patterns of strain
  • How the body functions physiologically – supporting tissue and fluid health
  • How energy flows – promoting vitality and emotional balance
Vitafield HILDA
Our HILDA service uses the Swiss precision, gentle & non-invasive Vitatec Global Diagnostics device to scan your whole body in just 8 minutes.   

  • Highlights stress, deficiencies, toxins, or imbalances, offering valuable insight into your wellbeing.           
  • Combined with our expertise, these results guide personalised care and treatment programmes to restore balance, boost energy, and support your journey to optimal health.

FAQs

Vitalfield Global Diagnostics
Q: What is Vitalfield Global Diagnostics?

A: Global Diagnostics is a device developed by Vitatec that records and displays information about the body’s responses to very low electrical impulses. Medically trained practitioners use this information as part of a holistic wellness consultation. It does not replace conventional medical testing.

Q: How long is the appointment?

A: The appointment contact time is up to an hour. The practitioner will spend some further time, outside of the appointment, analysing the reports in conjunction with your full case history, to formulate a tailored treatment plan.

Q: What happens during a session?

A: You lie down while two electrodes are gently placed against your skin, often on the feet. The measurement takes around 8 minutes. The process is painless and non-invasive.

Q: Do I need to prepare in advance?

A: No special preparation is needed. Wearing comfortable clothing and avoiding creams or lotions on the electrode areas is helpful.

Q: Who can use Global Diagnostics?

A: Adults of all ages can choose to have a session. Children may also participate if they can remain still during the process. It is not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker, transplant patients, during pregnancy or anyone with implants.

Q: Is it safe?

A: The device uses very low electrical impulses (much lower than everyday household devices). To date, no harmful side effects have been reported. The device has been used by health practitioners in Europe for over 30 years.

Osteopathy
Q: What is osteopathy?

A:  Osteopathy is a holistic practice of diagnosis and hands-on treatment rooted in the principle that body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. This whole-person approach offers a comprehensive model for drug-free, wellness and healing.

Osteopaths undertake a 4-5 year degree level initial training. They continue to specialise with post-graduate courses, fulfilling continued professional development requirements each year. Osteopaths are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council.

Q: What is cranial osteopathy?

A: Cranial osteopathy is a gentle, specialist form of osteopathic practice that uses highly trained, very light touch to assess areas of tension or strain in the body to facilitate healing. Gayle was awarded fellow status from the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy.

Q: Who can see an osteopath?

A: People of all ages may choose to see an osteopath.

Q: Can cranial osteopathy be used with babies or children?

A: Yes. Cranial techniques are very gentle, and osteopaths are trained to work with people of all ages. Gayle has undertaken an additional 2-year post-graduate paediatric qualification and volunteered for 7 years at a charity that providesactivities and therapies for childrenwith disabilities and additional needs.

Q: Do I need a GP referral?

A: No. You can book directly with an osteopath. Some health insurance policies may require a referral — check with your provider.

Somatics
Q: What is Somatics?

A: Somatics is a movement-based practice that uses slow, mindful exercises to increase self-awareness of how your body moves and feels.

Q: Who can take part?

A: People of all ages and fitness levels can take part. Movements are designed to be slow, comfortable, and adaptable.

Q: What happens in a typical class?

A: You will be guided through simple, mindful movements, usually performed lying down, sitting, or standing. The focus is on self-awareness and comfort to train new patterns of movement.

Q: Do I need to be flexible or fit?

A: No. Somatics is accessible to everyone, and movements can be adjusted to suit your comfort level.

General Questions
Q: Can I cancel an appointment if I improve or change my mind?

A: Yes. When your appointment is booked, you’ll receive a confirmation email. At the bottom of that email, there’s a link you can use to cancel online. If you prefer, you can also send us a message. Please note we require at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid a cancellation fee. This helps us offer the appointment to another patient if your circumstances change.

Q: What if I need to rearrange an appointment?

A: You can use our online booking system to check availability and reschedule to a different day. Please remember to cancel the original appointment you no longer wish to keep. As above, we ask for at least 24 hours’ notice.

Q: Can I cancel the Somatics Online Classes?

A: Yes. Membership is billed monthly, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. If your circumstances change and you can’t attend the live classes, some members choose to remain subscribed and listen to the class replays at their own convenience.

Q: Where will the in-person appointments be held?

A: All in-person appointments are held in a clinic in Virginia Water, Surrey. Full address details and directions are included in the booking confirmation. A reminder will also be sent the day before the appointment with further information about coming to the clinic.
